    Hi everyone! Here are my answers:
    a) The author of that speech was the Pope Urban II
    b) That cry led to the beginning of the Crusades in order to conquer the Holy Land.
    c) There were nine crusades in total, but the most important one was the Third Crusade, because the King of England (Richard the Lionheart), France (Philip Augustus) and the Emperor of the Holy Germanic Empire (Frederick Barbarossa) participated on them. They conquered Acre, but failed in Jerusalem

    a) He is Pope Urban II, and was the Pope number 159 of the Catholic Church, between 1088 to 1099. He is known for his preaching of the First Crusade (1095-1099) for the recovery of the Holy Land, then under Muslim rule, although he died before the culmination of it with the capture of Jerusalem.
    b) With this cry, the First Crusade began.
    c) The crusades were military campaigns to defend the cross (the symbol of Christianity) and to conquer the Holy Land. In the 12th and 13th centuries, there were several crusades. The most important was the Third Crusade (1189-1192, also called “Crusade of Kings”), in which the King of England (Richard the Lionheart), participated; The King of France (Philip II); and the Emperor of the Holy Germanic Empire, (Frederick Barbarossa, who drowned before arriving). His goal was to conquer the Holy Land from Saladin. They succeeded in conquering Acre, but they lost Jerusalem. There were nine crusades.

Read this information and answer the quiz questions: Knights belonged to the noble class and were part of a military order, but not all soldiers could become knights.  Training began at a very young age. At 7, the son of a medieval nobleman or knight would be sent off to serve as a page in a lord's castle. There, he would learn horsemanship, archery and swordsmanship, and perform various other duties around the castle. Squires would begin training at age 14 years old. A squire's training concentrated on strength, fitness and skill with various weapons. Individual training was only part of the regimen, as knights also needed to know how to fight as part of a team of skilled horsemen. The squire would care for the knight's horse, clean the stables, polish the knight's armor and maintain his weapons. They would learn the chivalric codes of conduct and listen to epic tales of Roland, Charlemagne, Arthur, Percival and Lancelot. After years
